Curtis Mehlberg

Physical Appearance
Curtis is tall and thin, wears glasses, and has short-medium brown hair that is naturally curly at the tips. Throughout the trilogy, Curtis is said to look more “mature” in the sense that his face becomes more ‘grown up’ and ‘long,’ whereas in the first book, he is rather chubby cheeked and awkward looking.

Personality and Traits
Curtis is introduced as an annoying school mate of Prue’s in book one. He insists on accompanying Prue into the I.W. While in, he discovers that he is a half breed, along with his sisters, Elsie Mehlberg and Rachel Mehlberg, and finds a place among the bandit band, with his rat, Septimus. Curtis’s age is commonly confused, because he tells the governess in book one that he is almost 12, and many readers interpret this as “I am 12.” Assuming that he is 13 by the end of the series. Although, only one year passes between books one and three. Therefor, Curtis is 11-12 years old.
